The plan is to host a 3 day regional GOSH event in Toronto, Canada at Evergreen Brickworks. The event will take place midweek (e.g., Tuesday to Thursday) and will accommodate 50-80 participants. One of the primary goals is to bootstrap a local open-science hardware movement in the Great Lakes region, but we will also welcome applications from outside of the region (and will provide a limited number of travel grants).

We’re also planning 3-4 day post-GOSH, hands-on digital biology lab/workshop (Friday-Monday) where we’ll be hacking on microfluidics and spectrophotometers and developing field-portable water/agriculture test applications. This event will be hosted at a cottage ~2 hrs west of Toronto and can accommodate ~20 people.

The next step is to finalize dates. If you are interested in coming to either event, please indicate your preferred dates in the poll bellow. The poll will close on March 3rd so that we can book spaces.

I’m intrigued by your initiative, I think there’s potential for great collaboration and learning here. I’d message you directly on the site but I can’t seem to find our how. Shoot me an email, let’s chat. sebastian@incuvers.com
